Yes, good one. We have a faux marble bathroom sink, and it has the same type of sticker about natural variations "in the manufacturing process." I guess even manufacturing is natural these days.
Rolls Royce, and others, use hides from cattle that are not exposed to barbed wire, so you will not find one of those stickers on a Rolls dashboard.
Just a short while ago there was a very interesting tv documentary about Rolls Royce. They were building a very special, one off version, of their top of the range model. It was to have diamonds embedded in the dashboard. This work was given to a firm of high quality goldsmiths. They completed the dashboard after three months of painstaking work, took it to the RR factory for inspection and it was condemned because the diamonds were fractions of a millimetre out of level, this could only be seen under magnification. Twice more they remade the whole thing before it was accepted. If you want perfection buy a Rolls Royce :-)
